Which is a reputable site to know updates on spread of corona? Something which draws from WHO or similar sources?

This one from Johns Hopkins University is the most used by the media where I am and does seem very good and regularly updated:

India Scrambles to Escape a Coronavirus Crisis. So Far, It’s Working.


Dr. Henk Bekedam, the World Health Organization’s representative in India, said coronavirus cases in the country were all “traceable” and that there was no evidence yet of community transmission or a higher unofficial patient count.

He said India had so far managed to keep cases low by responding fast and aggressively to the coronavirus, and urging people to practice social distancing.

“I have been quite impressed with India,” Dr. Bekedam said. “From the onset they’ve been taking it very seriously.

India has 1.3 billion people.

What are the symptoms caused by the virus from Wuhan in China, how does it spread, and should you call a doctor?

You should look on the dedicated coronavirus NHS 111 website for information. If you get worse or your symptoms last longer than seven days, you should call NHS 111. People will no longer be tested for the virus unless they are in hospital.

sorry but the more i watch news and government people speak.. the more I see how this is all predesigned for another long term specific purpose... I mean it just doesn't make sense any more to use words like the UK officials "what we're annonucing today is a very substantial way in the way people live their lives"... I meant wtf??? its a virus... yes its new... yes spreading a lot.. yes killing... but its a virus.. why are they talking about changing the way we live.. in a seemingly no longer even temporary way.... i find their tone and messages odd..

i mean QR codes on peoples fones in china... to track movements.. prevent them from travel or not... so now we are just qr codes? seriously..

drones flying up to you if you got no mask.. follow you to go home

wtf?!

plus another intersting point I heard today.. is htat tons of people not sick from corona... will die because of corona.. because hospitals are overwhelmed and cannot take new patients who need emergency treatment for say heart issues ... or stroke.. or who need surgeries etc... so corona may also kill many indirectly.

well looks like canada finally throwing round some specific numbers.. in terms of financial aid... they are offering quick loans (yeah, gotta pay back I guess lol) to people stuck abroad ... so they can get back buy ticket, lodge themelves on reutrn to canada... looks like 5k total loan.

they are also giving like 500$ per month for upto 4 weeks to people who need to stay home and have no employment insurance... actually i don't remember if this is like a loan too or what that is.

but you know.. it seems like overall its a sort of crucial 30 day period now... to try and slow virus down.

but in the end it seems that the virus will never end... and the only way to get rid of it so to speak.. will be in the end for everyone to get it.. and everyone to develop immumity... at which stage it will be declassified as your common flu.

the reason for this, that everyone will need to get it and develop immunity, is simple that a vaccine or meds they say are 1-2 years away.. so everyone getting it + immmunity part will simply come first.. before meds or vaccine.

i thnk we should prepare ourselves for just that... ie: not not getting it. but getting it and making sure we are healthly enough and take care of ourselves to survive it.

its a bit sad to say because some of us may not make it. but from what im hearing. this is what its down to. everyone getting it in the end.

i thnki this is gonna get real ugly! and there will be huge overall human deaths in the end! reardless of death ratios.. if 7 billion people get it... losses will be huge.

i think our focus, for people, should be not how not to get it... as getting it may become sooner or later unavoidable, no matter how hard we try to delay or social distancing, its still just delaying the inevitable.......... so rather than not getting it, this may become about how to basically survive getting it. try and take care of our healths.. get some sleep .. rest.. drink a lot.. forget crap foods.. do maybe bit of fasting.. maybe try to breathe some clean air.. hard to do in cities... but if you live in polluted big cities, this can be very bad for corona and breathing and pneumonia!!! if you have a country home... maybe its time to escape there! and I think it will help us! may god help us all.

lol... still having doubts about recession in usa? trump starting to hint at it...


some people still say there won't be recession.

Current death numbers are below from the source in my original post. I've had very sporadic internet this morning...frustrating. As usual, please copy and place the list to correct any wrong numbers and/or to add your country of origin.

Total: 7,511

AU: 5
Canada: 4
Indonesia: 5
India: 3

314 new cases and 1 new death in Austria:

rail transport down 70%
Restrictions already in place include:
- gatherings of more than five people are banned

This graph shows the age distribution of COVID-19 cases in Korea and in Italy in the two colours. If you look only at the Italian data (green), it seems that most cases are in the elderly. But that is misleading, as over-burdened Italy could only test those who seemed likely ill. If you look at Korea (red), that did wider testing than I think anywhere else, the data shows that in fact early 20's are the majority of cases. This makes sense that the mobile young would most highly transmit an infectious disease.

Now you have to take into account the different age distributions in the country overall populations, but I think the data clearly show that there are tons of active younger people in fact infected, even though they will get few symptoms. The fact that you can readily spread the virus, without even knowing you have it, while not restricted to this one virus, is still a major concern.

Here is source of information - have not delved deeply but it looks legitimate to me: https://twitter.com/AbdulElSayed/status/1239887864302796801?s=20

Thanks for the posting the graph...it is shows represented data well.

The medical professionals I know personally and professionally have both echoed that the young are likely more exposed to the virus than older people are just because they are more active and social.

They are also less likely to present symptoms even though they are actively carrying and spreading the virus...as is the case with virtually all illnesses/colds/viruses. When I was young, the 'old folks' would keep away from children's birthday parties...they knew their chances of getting exposed to something were higher. I remember crying because my great grandmother would not come to my 6th birthday party. My mother did her best to explain that all she wanted to do is to stay alive to see my birthday number 7.

Maryland will turn car inspection sites into drive-through testing centers, governor says

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said all vehicle emissions inspection programs will cease operations on inspections.

He has instead directed the state's Health Department and the Department of Transportation to repurpose them into drive-through coronavirus testing centers across the state.


Miami is closing all non-essential business due to coronavirus outbreak

The City of Miami, Florida, has issued an order on Tuesday mandating all entertainment and non-essential business establishments to close until further notice due to increased cases of community transmission in Florida, according to a news release from the city.

The order which goes into effect at 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, March 17, applies to all alcohol service establishments that do not serve food, including bars, nightclubs and lounges.

Dine-in restaurants may sell food for takeout, delivery, and drive-thru on a two-hour basis.

Entertainment venues including movie theaters, gyms and fitness centers are also impacted by the new order.

A new open and free database has just gone live with 29,000 scientific articles related to coronavirus, about 13,000 are full text (meaning you can read the entire paper without cost - in others it is just the summary that is free). AI was used to compile it from existing database sources. Most papers will be very technical, but a nice move to have it available to both researchers and the general public.

Here is an MIT news story about it where I first came across the information

It is still considered a 'safe haven' for global investors including institutional and some governments. Traditionally the US economy is the last to 'fall' and the first to recover.

There are other forms of securing wealth (precious metals, oil) but normally the risks are greater. For now, at least, the USD is holding up.

yes but the fed are just printing empty money into infinity.
its no longer backed by gold..
i think by the time all this is over... usd may be worth much less.
in times of extreme crisis, even money in the bank can get locked.. taken away... even bank insurances won't help... come on everyone lets put any extra money we own into liquid domains lol
